Mmm, I'd noticed that too, especially from the 'antler' fraternity. It
probably goes back to the days when the Stag first appeared,
attracting a bunch of hooray Henry's in the process who looked down on
any other Triumph because it was cheaper and couldn't afford a Jaguar.
Of course - and fortunately - there are many exceptions to this rule
among current 'antler' owners who I like to count as friends. However,
only two weeks ago when I was out trundling, an antler appeared in the
opposite direction trailing steam from a fractured head gasket (flame
flame flame) and I gave a friendly flash followed by a wave. All I got
for my trouble was a 'V' sign - so I completed my journey hoping the
blighter busted the other head gasket as well <smile> As he passed, I
detected an exhaust note more akin to a Ford V6 ...
